I know what you all mean. There is the biker who feel some pride in riding in traffic and even more annoying is the walker who brags that he/she can walk 5-10 miles a day but never seem to make it to the NY Marathon. If you talk to or are a marathon runner you appreciate following great safety rules, being aware of where you are running or walking and not "feeling special". It appears that both amateur Bikers and Walkers have a sense of "entitlement" while SERIOUS competitors in these programs are fun to be around.
